It will asraln please the citizens of

quarterly report of the county con
stabulary, iresentel yesterday, that
there has not during the pant three

Tor the Relief of the StarvInR.
The decision of the City Pastors'
union to make a special appeal to the
public for contributions in relief of the
KtarvlnKOhi'lstiiiiiH as yet unmassaered
in Armenia deserves u Renerous re
sponse. l!y all accounts there are
thousands upon thousands of followers
of the Cross In Asia Jllivu the rem
nant vouchsafed life by the murderous
Turkish followers of Mohammed who
nt tills time are literally upon the verse
of starvation. Their harvests have
been' destroyed by barbarian uprlsiiiRs;
their homes have been broken up or
else turned Into the scene of rapine and
nutraKc; and the coining of the winter
season has found them literally helpless
mid without means of subsistence In a
land tilled with the graves of their mas
Kiicred assoclntes and held with ruthless
firmness by their merciless enemy, the
Turk.
While the Christian powers of Kurope
are by their inactivity virtually pro
tecting the assassins of the Crescent
In their campalKH of Armenian exter
mination, It Is proposed that far-oit
America shall frelf?ht a vessel with sup
plies and send it as an offering to these
suffering lirethren In the Christ Ian faith.
To this end an appeal Is made to Seran
tonians, In order that this city, which
vvus one of the first In the country to
make a protest ngninst Turkish bar
barities, may sustain Its word with
fitting deed, and prove that a sympathy
which can talk can nlso act. There is
no resident of Scranton so poor that he
cannot give something for the relief of
these starving Christians of Asia Minor,
who, though spared by the sword with
no thanks to the so-called Christian
powers, may. If not soon rescued, yet
perish by the slower process of famine.
If every Scrantonian should give only
5 cents, the price of one loaf of bread,
the total would be $5,000, and it would
not take many Scrantons to till a ship.
Jiut whatever Is done it will need to be
done quickly. Hunger and want will
not wait our convenience. A delay of a
week may mean the death of hundreds
of human beings whom prompt relief
would avail to save.
,Ve have had heretofore chiefly the
rhetorical side of this Armenian ques
tion. People have read of the whole
sale butcheries, which have Ineffnceably
Ftalned anil damned the archaic sway
of the Mohammedan sultan. They have
voiced a casual thought or two of sym
pathy and regret; and, perchance, have
wondered whether Christian Europe
would take steps In redress. But there
the subject has dropped. It has re
mained for the. closing decade of the
nineteenth century, three hundred years
and more since the last recorded whole
sale religious massacre, to produce the
spectacle of 100,000 Christians deliber
ately done to death babes slain nt their
nurse, mothers first dishonored then
slaughtered; and old men tortured by
the minions of a sovereign ostensibly
under the thumbs of four Christian rul
ers without any actual step taken In
their defence, or any organized effort
yet put forth, except In the manner now
under consideration to save from mas
sacre or starvation the remnant thous
ands whom the Turk In his madness
overlooked.
Rhetoric, however.must now give way
to fact. There can In decency's name
be no further Justification for hesitancy.
Let all who can do so send at once their
contributions of money, clothing or
provisions to Colonel H. M. Poles, who
will act as treasurer of the Armenian
Relief fund. Let Scranton show that
she can do as well as talk; and an ex
ample thus set will not fall to have In
fluence elsewhere.
The confession of McGough that he
and not "Bat" Shea, murdered Robert
Ross at the Troy election may be all
wool and a yard wide, but It has every
appearance of a trick to save Shea's
worthless life.
The New Bond Issue.
In deciding; to make the latest bond
ale a pppular loan,, the president has
wisely deferred to a public sentiment
which, had It been Ignored, might have
Involved him In very unpleasant conse
quences. . Ninety-five citizens out of
every hundred are by this time deter
mined that the scandal of the previous
humiliating secret dickers with repre
sentatives of foreign syndicates shall
not be repeated while there exists any
alternative method of replenishing; the
wasted gold reserve,- They agree with
Senator Sherman that the spectacle of
the richest nation In time of profound
peace being forced by Its president to
appear before the other nations of civili
zation as a mendicant for financial fa
vors Is too dear a' price to pay for the
Interested applause of Wall street.
Jut how: does this belated concession
to public sentiment leave the adminis
tration with regard to the prior liond
Insucs? Is It not equivalent to a public
run f 'union that those issues were un
wisely managed? If the iieople of the
I'nlted States may be trusted In Jan
uary, 1896, why were they not similarly
trusted in 1X94 and 1SK1? Though lc may
be profitless so far us existing obliga
tions are concerned to recur to these
pioneer exploits of Messrs. Cleveland
and Carlisle as financiers. It must r.ot
be overlooked that the present action
of the administration amounts to con
spicuous and humiliating sclf-stultifl-catlon.
No argument can be adduced
In its suport which would not have had
equal weight upon the preceding occa
sions when the American people were
Igrnored und the bonds of the nation
turned over at enormous cost to the
speculative manipulation of a private
syndicate.
Fortunately, the time 13 not far dis
tant when there will be an end to this
whole shameful chapter. As one of the
prices of the change of 1802, this bond
scandal will be borne by the people
with the same sturdy patience that
they displayed during the free trade
panic; but its effect will be educational,
ar.d the mistake which called it Into ex
istence will not soon be repeated. The
supposition In some quarters that' Mr.
Cleveland could by foreign heroics
blind the country to the shameful fail
ures of his domestic policy and thereby
secure his own re-election Involves an
innult to the popular intelligence. In
fourteen months the era of deficits and
debt-multiplication will come to an Ig
nominious close, and a period of ade
quate revenues supplemented by requi
site protection will be Inaugurated co
Incldently with the Inauguration of a
Republican president.
I'nlll then, the public will have to en
dure its trials as best It can. .
Xow that the Cuban patriots have
whipped the flower of Spain's army in
to the last ditch, why should the Ameri
can president withhold his ofticial rec
ognition of tin? Cuban republic? One
would think that this would be Just the
time for the I'nlted States to do the
elegant.
A Warning.
Information was received last nfuht of an
attempt by persons representing the loir
ticket to seduce some of the delegates elected
at Saturday's primaries in the Inteirat 1
Messrs. Ripple, Williams and Wldmayeav. In
one case the promise made was so generu'us
In its terms as to lead to the belief that a
wholesale protect of attempted bribery Is In
progress. The plan of operation is to endeavor
to secure the delegate's credentials and trans
fer them to some creature of the Scranton
combine who will deliver the vote In conven
tion in accordance with the rnmblne's direc
tions. It is not believed that any ot the Ripple dele
gates con be Influenced to commit a breach ol
trust; but the attempt to effect such a result
affords an interesting commentary upon the
sincerity of the Atolr men's cry that they have
been the victims of corrupt political methods.
The information in our possession is positive.
The details of the various overtures arc fully
known. This much by way of warning!
England and (iermany.
There does not seem to an unbiased
observer to be adequate reason for the
wave of passion said to have swept over
England In consequence of the Kaiser's
letter to the president of the Transvaal
republic congratulating him upon his
successful resistance of the Jameson
filibustering expedition. If this consti
tutes an Insult to Kngland then the
fault must be with Rngland, In which
event It will not benefit her case to get
mad about it.
The Transvaal republic Is a free state
settled principally by Germans and the
Dutch. Its territory lay wltnin the
circle of liiitish covetousness, and one
day Or. Jameson, representing the Brit
ish South African company, a chartered
corporation invested with all thp l ights
of ii Urltlsh colony, made a descent up
on it. There are conflicting reports as
to his ostensible purpose In leading; this
Invasion, but there is no difference of
opinion ns to his real aim, and very
little doubt as to the fact that he was
encouraged In this projected land steal
by Cecil Rhodes, who yesterday re
signed as premier of Cape colony, a
circumstance which lends color to this
suspicion. When Dr. Jameson and his
thieving band of mercenaries were
ben ten back by President Kruger and
the freemen of Transvaal, and Jameson
himself captured and Imprisoned like
any cither highwayman caught In the
act, why should not the emperor of
flermany, mnny of whose kinsmen were
In the defending army, congratulate the
victors? What honest man would fall
to feel glad that these brave Boers had
preserved their own?
If the Kaiser's message Is an Insult to
England, It must follow that every time
an Knglish robber Is nabbed while ply
ing his dishonest arts an Indignity is
offered to the British empire. Surely
the Salisbury government would not
care to assume a position so preposter
ous as this. There is one thing of which
Americans can rest assured: and that
is that If the British government so far
yields to the testlnesn of the popular
British temper as to express a demand
for the withdrawal of the Kaiser's ob
jectionable message, It will be met by
a negative so plain and blunt that war
will be England's only escape from ab
ject humiliation. A war between Ger
many and England on any basis would
be deplorable; but on such a basis It
would assure to Oermany the sympathy
of the entire world, Oreat Britain alone
excepted: and it would probably end In
England's getting the most beautiful
trouncing that any nation has received
since the gala days of the great Napo
leon. lnder the Monroe doctrine America
is forbidden to take an ae.tlve part in
the International politics of Europe. But
the wholesale butchery of Armenian
Christians by Turks Is not a question
of politics. It Is properly a question of
morals, of common humanity. It Is
certainly a humiliation that Christian
America has as yet voiced no official
protest against this crowning infamy
of the nineteenth century.
The political philanthropist Is the
man who puts his hand Into his pocket
and pulls out something; substantial
when the contribution box goes 'round.
The Armenian question, by all acucunts,
has reached the stage where it will have
to make Its uppeul direct to the prac
tical philanthropist.
One Is srnnvly nurpvised to learn that
Senator Sherman's Biecch does not re
ceive the approval of the Wall street
bond speculators. As a matter of fact
their criticism is the highest possible
compliment.
The fact that the English papers do
not like the president's Venezuelan com
mission Is something that the American
people will manage to survive. They
will probably like it less when It makes
its report.
If the esteemed Wllkes-Barre Record
will bestow a glance on Scranton next
month it will see a Republican munici
pal victory which will set at rest all Its
present futile fears of party defeat.
Kruger of Transvaal, Dole of Hawaii,
and Comes of Cuba are a trio of men
who seem to have the right stuff In
them. This Is a bad year for bullies.

This promises to he a "Do Nothing" con
gress, anil an early adjournment is nmong
trie possibilities. The house Is r.ot ex
pected to puss any Important legislation
outside of the general appropriation bills,
ami they will he kept down to 'the lowest
possible notch. This will not be a "Mil
lion Dollar Congress." Speaker Reed has
served notice on the Republican members
that no extravagance will be tolerated.
He has his eye on the presidential nomi
nation, and he is not going to allow leg
islation to injure his chances.
The senate Is expected to follow In the
footsteps of the house on economic lines.
Hecord-maklng Is to be the watchword of
both bodies.
It is believed 4hnt private legislation will
get very little consideration. This will be
a blow below the belt for the "parlia
mentary solicitors" who make their liv
ing, und a mighty good one at that, by
lobbying ithroiiKh congress legislation for
private corporations and individuals.
Some of these "solicitors" or "promoters
of legislation" have become Immensely
wealthy. So have many members of con
gress as well as senators, whose con
sciences are of the plastic, kind. From my
own .personal knowledge one lobbyist has
made In the neighborhood of half a mil
lion dollars in the nasi ten years throuuh
his ability to manipulate legislation for
various corporations.

to the proclamation which elevated that
territory to statehood. The pen with which
the president signed the document was
afterwarlsecured by (lovernor West. It
will be taken to Salt Lake, where it will
be placed on exhibition and then preserved
as a historical relic. The instrument used
by the president wus an ordinary wooden

It Is snltl President Cleveland, while
on hunting expeditions, rarely, it ever,
misses tbe object he shoots at. He would
rather let a dozen ducks get away from
him than to lire and miss the 'target. K.
Presldent Harrison Is a different sort of
sportsman. H blazes away at everything
In sight, and at the end of n day's hunt
finds that lie has use. enough ammunition
to have killed five times as much game
as he has bagged. Hut that does not worry
Mr. Harrison. He seems to get as much
pleasure out of shooting and missing as
Cleveland does In bringing down every
thing he shoots at.

The police picked up a man near the
Baltimore and Ohio depot in this city a
few evenings ago who gave his name as
Key. Richard J. Kooney, und who claimed
to be one of the priests in charge of St.
Patrick's church In 'Philadelphia. When
found Father Kooney was in a stupplied
condition. He was locked up for the night,
and the next day was released. When
searched by the police $9 in rash and a
gold watch were found in his pockets.
After he bad recovered from his stupor
he told the police that the last time he
was In condition to think he hail nearly
in his possession. Jt Is believed that
Fnther Kooney was the victim of "knock
out drops" administered by a thief. He
said he was on his way to the Uethsemane
seminary in Somervllle, Ky., but after
his experience In this city he returned to
Philadelphia.

The great clamor for a popular loan of
bonds will not likely be heeded by the
president und Ahe secretury of the treas

to have been completed and they will

congress can convince the administration

The Pail Hall Gazette, one of the big

It has sent a special representative to
Washington to watch the progress of the

On last Friday. Saturday and Sunday
Washington experienced the coldest
weather ot the season. The thermometer
fell nearly twenty degrees In a few hours
on Friday and has been hugging the zero

COLONEL RIPPLE'S VICTORY.
From 'the Scranton Truth.
In the spirited preliminary battle at the
primaries, in this city last Saturday, Col
onel K. H. Ripple won an emphatic vic
tory for the mayoralty nomination 'to be
made formally tomorrow at the Republi
can city convention. Of the seventy-six
delegates elected forty-seven were chosen
for Colonel Ripple, according to 'the re.
ported returns, and his success in all
parts of the city was so pronounced as
to make further factional opposition to his
candidacy futile.
This is no mere accident or machine vic
tory, but the popular trJAmph of a man
who enjoys. In an exc llonal manner,
the confidence and rest Vof the entire
community, and whose Vnal integrity
and manliness are bey broach. The
qualities which commend Col.mel Hippie to
his fellow-cltltens are not those usually
associated with the sin-. esMI imtli-laii.
